When all is said and done, does Gary really believe in the Air Raid and is he really ready to let somebody run with it?
We don’t run the Air Raid.
Nope. It’s feast or famine with the Air Raid and his beloved defense is on the field too long. If he can’t win games, his secondary goal is to be one of the top defenses in the land.When all is said and done, does Gary really believe in the Air Raid and is he really ready to let somebody run with it?

Sonny has shown he is unworthy of trust.Nope. It’s feast or famine with the Air Raid and his beloved defense is on the field too long. If he can’t win games, his secondary goal is to be one of the top defenses in the land.
He made the decisions concerning Delton. He made the decision to go for it on 4th in the last seconds because “Song is only good to 40.”
Sonny is hamstrung by Gary. They need to sit down and decide what the way ahead will be. Either you trust your subordinates or you hire some that thinks exactly like you...at least to your face.
Chicken and the egg argument in my opinion.Sonny has shown he is unworthy of trust.
For the most part I think we do. It’s just that we’re so bad at it that it doesn’t look like it.
We run shotgun all the time, have wide OL splits, run very elementary zone read running plays, usually have 3-4 WRs in the game at all times who are usually sent on very short “routes” where they try and find soft spots in a zone. Isn’t that at its core the Air Raid?
If not, what is it?
All I know is when I watch Washington State, the offense they run looks nothing like what we are trying to do. I think Leach and Patterson are very similar in the fact that they both came up with a unique style of play and are so hands on that none of their protégés are able to recreate what they do.
It’s a spread offense. Air raid would generally constitute throwing it at a much higher frequency than running it.For the most part I think we do. It’s just that we’re so bad at it that it doesn’t look like it.

I don’t really consider what Riley runs to be an Air Raid in the sense that LeachWell, Lincoln Riley seems to be a pretty good protege of Leach.

does things. He’s much more amenable to the run game to set up his downfield passing game but with his OL, who wouldn’t be?
